What is the theme of the 6th RISE Conclave 2026?
- A.Science for Self-Reliance
- B.Driving Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Viksit Bharat 2047
- C.From Lab to Land
- D.Startup India, Standup Science
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Driving Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Viksit Bharat 2047'. The release gives this as the theme under which the four CSIR laboratories are jointly organising the conclave in Kolkata. The other three options are invented phrases that sound like plausible science-policy slogans but appear nowhere in the release. Themes are among the most frequently asked details in current affairs papers, so pair the theme with the rest of the event card in one block of memory: sixth edition, Kolkata, CSIR-IICB at Salt Lake, 6 and 7 September, and Dr Jitendra Singh as the Minister who inaugurated it. It also helps to know the wider policy setting the Minister described, in which a Research, Development and Innovation Fund of Rs 1 lakh crore and the Anusandhan National Research Foundation support high-risk, high-reward work and stronger ties between academia, startups and industry.
